Lemon Syrupy Cake
What this cake lacks in looks, it more than makes up for in taste. Seriously, I've never failed with this recipe. A complete compliment magnet, this one is.
While I've used a lemon syrup here, the cake is equally delightful with passion fruit syrup, orange syrup and pineapple syrup. Just be weary of grapefruit syrup, it can turn the cake bitter.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre heat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
- 2
In a bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- 3
Now add the eggs and lemon zest to it and beat well.
- 4
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- 5
Now fold the flour mixture into the wet mix until incorporated well.
- 6
Then add the milk.
- 7
Grease and flour a baking dish and pour the mix into it. Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
- 8
While the cake is baking, in a saucepan over simmering flames, mix together the lemon juice and powdered sugar until it forms a syrup. Then let it cool.
- 9
Once the cake is baked, using the cake tester or a fork, gently poke holes all over the cake.
- 10
Then pour the lemon syrup over the cake and let the syrup seep into all the pores.
- 11
Let the cake stand in the baking dish until it is no longer hot/warm. Since the cake is drenched in syrup, removing it from the dish before it is completely cool can cause it to crumble.

Semolina Cake Semolina Cake
I came across this recipe on the internet when I was looking for semolina cake recipe. In my first attempt I followed the recipe step by step, but unfortunately the cake turned out very dry. So, I made orange syrup and poured it on top, I thought the syrup would make the cake moist. The cake was nice and moist with orange syrup, but it had to be eaten as quick as possible, because it turned bad the next day.So, in this recipe I have made some adjustments where I reduced the amount of flour and sugar in it and added extra almond powder. I used orange juice instead of milk and added orange zest. The cake turned out very nice, moist with slightly orange flavored.

Orange bundt cake Orange bundt cake
My kids won't eat oranges with seeds. Unfortunately, I found out after I bought a bunch navel oranges on sale. So I did what any baker would do with an over abundance of oranges, make an orange bundt cake with an orange glaze. Even though this recipe uses all parts of the orange, there were no seeds in it so my kids were happy.
